Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Cao Rui set a general policy and decided to unite with Wu to conquer Shu. As for the large number of farms south of Yingchuan that were destroyed by the Shu army, Cao Rui had nothing to do.

There is no way, no matter from any aspect, you can't beat Ma Su. If he takes the initiative to attack at this time and Ma Su seizes the opportunity, Ma Su may be able to hit Xudu directly.

In this regard, Cao Rui wisely chose to be a coward in Yingchuan. Under his command, more than 100,000 troops built massive forts, built antlers, and built deep ditches and high fortresses to guard against Ma Su's attack.

When Ma Su finished wreaking havoc in the Yingyang and Yingyin areas, he released more than 100,000 farmers. One year, he divided his troops to cover the people's return south. At the same time, he personally led his troops to try his luck in Xudu.

If you scratch the lottery ticket and meet Cao Rui, you will make a lot of money.

As a result, the soldiers and horses were unable to pass two hundred miles outside Xudu, because rows of antlers blocked Ma Di's path.

A large number of antlers are supposed to be on the road, row after row, ten weights in front and behind. Three trenches were dug in a row at the back, plus a layer of stone walls inside the wooden fort.

With this precaution, let alone Ma Su, even if Xiang Yu comes over, he won't be able to get through.

Ma Su was very confused about this, and he did not expect Wei Jun to be so defensive.

You have an army of more than 100,000, and the size of the Central Plains is enough to fight against my 20,000 troops. Even if you are a little scared because of my great reputation, you won't be so defensive, right?

What left Ma Su speechless the most was that after the camp blocking the road in front saw him, he quickly lit the beacon tower?

Beacon tower? I even used this thing just to be on guard?

Seeing that the Wei army camp was in a state of chaos and a large number of powerful crossbows and arrows were set up, Ma Su knew that he would not be able to get through. Looking at it like this, if Ma Su used the straw man to come here for a walk in the middle of the night, he might be able to borrow arrows from the straw man.

"Retreat, this group of Wei people are already frightened, and it is obvious that they cannot survive with such tight defenses. Follow me to take a look at other roads..." Ma Di waved his hand, and then led the Han army to retreat, trying to bypass the camp through other roads. .

As a result, Ma Di discovered that all the passages for the army's northward march were heavily guarded by Wei troops. Each one has ten layers of antlers, three trenches, and even the forts are built extremely solidly in front and back.

It was obvious that Cao Rui knew what Ma Su wanted to do and had taken precautions in advance.

Seeing this situation, Ma Su could only laugh or cry. It seemed that it would be difficult to play any interludes in the future.

"Is the Wei army so cowardly? Didn't it mean that the total strength of the Wei army in Yuzhou was more than 200,000, but they were so defensive in the face of my 20,000?"

"General, according to detailed reports, it seems that the Wei army from Qiao County did not come to Yingchuan, but went south to Shouchun."

"Going south to Shouchun?" Ma Su's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He is a very spiritual person, and you can taste what Cao Rui does when you hear it. After pondering for a while, Ma Su suddenly laughed with relief,

"I see. It looks like we can be stationed in Yingchuan safely for several months."

"Call the troops, don't panic when moving the people, the safety of the people is the top priority!"

"only!"

When Ma Su led his troops to stationed in Yingchuan, he was preparing to spend a long time with Cao Rui. The tens of thousands of Wei troops stationed in the Qiao army, under the personal responsibility of Jiang Ji, bypassed Yingchuan and headed towards Shouchun.

At this moment, Soochow's army of more than 100,000 troops has been fighting on the Huainan front line for two months. Qingzhou Don't Drive Wang Ji is almost driving him crazy.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Quan's performance this time was indeed outstanding. Without Lu Xun in charge, Sun Quan led Ding Fengzhu and his army to attack Hefei and quickly surrounded it, which was much better than when he defeated Zhang Liao.

Especially when Linghuyu led troops to come to the rescue, Sun Quan sent Ding Feng to fight. Three thousand dead men attacked the Wei army at night and even slightly defeated the Wei army. The two sides were in a stalemate for two months, but Soochow forces had a slight upper hand.

Of course, the main reason here is that all the elite troops from Huainan were transferred to Dingling to confront the Han army. The old, weak, sick and disabled left behind were not enough to suppress Soochow, which is why Sun Quan was so embarrassed.

As for why Lu Xun was not allowed to go... it wasn't that he didn't want to go, it was just that Lu Xun had inexplicably fallen into a crisis of public opinion since Zhuge Liang's Eastern Expedition. Whether it was Jingzhou or Yangzhou, all kinds of dirty information about Lu Xun was spread a lot.

As a result, many wealthy families in Yangzhou who criticized Lu Xun gave Sun Quan various incentives, so Sun Quan had to replace Lu Xun himself.

However, Sun Quan's good situation ended here, because soon the scouts came to report that another 50,000 Wei troops were stationed in Shouchun.

As a result, the Shouchun Wei army reached more than 100,000, and its military strength exceeded Sun Quan. In this situation, Sun Quan had to prepare to withdraw his troops, no matter how unhappy he was.

Otherwise, when Wei Jun comes over, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

In response, Sun Quan angrily drew his sword and viciously cut off the last corner of the table.

"Short-sighted Wei people! Ma Di over there has already attacked Yingchuan, and the army is approaching Xudu! Why did he come to Shouchun if he didn't go to surround Ma Di!"

"Is Hefei more important than Xudu in their eyes?"

There was no reason why Sun Quan wouldn't be angry, so he tried his best to besiege Hefei. After two months of fighting, it was almost done. As a result, the Wei army suddenly came to help, and all previous efforts were in vain.

Facing Sun Quan's anger, all the generals did not dare to speak. They all lowered their heads and glanced at the table that was about to be chopped into a round shape by their supreme leader.

No one wanted to take over, and Sun Quan stated that he would not leave this time and would fight the Wei army. At this time, a large group of generals stood up to advise Sun Quan, saying that they put the overall situation first.

Finally, after everyone persuaded him, Sun Quan had no choice but to order the troops to prepare to pack up and retreat.

However, just when Sun Quan was ready to return without success, he suddenly heard that an envoy from Shouchun came to the army. The envoy threatened to see Sun Quan and said that he had a great wealth that he wanted to give to Sun Quan.

In response, Sun Quan's eyes flickered slightly, and he regained his composure in an instant.

"Bring the envoys from the north, I want to see what they have to say."

Soon, the envoy from Cao Wei in the north, led by his soldiers, met Sun Quan again.

"Zhuge Dan, I have met King Wu!"

The envoy sent to Soochow this time was none other than Zhuge Dan, the merit dog of the Zhuge family.

The first words they said during the meeting made Sun Quan's expression soften a lot. After being beaten by Zhuge Liang, the King of Wu became the Marquis of Wu.

"You are the envoys of Wei, and you and Gu are enemies of each other. Why do you dare to come to see me?" Although he basically guessed the purpose of the other party's visit, Sun Quan still scolded him sternly.

"On behalf of the emperor, a certain person is here to congratulate King Wu." Zhuge Dan smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and then handed over the congratulatory form.

"If this can be accomplished, I, the Emperor of Wei, would like to use Hefei as a gift to the King of Wu."

"What? What do you want as a gift?" Sun Quan suddenly sat up straight, his eyes shining brightly.
